Housing for the Winter.

JAMESTOWN, OAK, Dec. 23.-Super-
intendent Graham has notified settlers
and others along the jamestown &
Northern that it is altogether probable
that the road will be closed for part of
the winter at least. Residents along
the line are accordingly advised to lay
in a supply of fuel and provisions.
There are number of bad cuts on the
road and it is said that heavy fall of
snow would compel the company to
close it upon very short notice.

Lincoln on the Declaration of Independenc,

Lincoln on the Declaration Of Independence.
In the installment of the Lincoln
History" published in the june
Century, an account is given of the
famous bred Scott decision, with
quotations from Lincoln's AND
Douglass opinions on that decision.
Lincoln incidentally referred to tn,
Declaration of Independence in the
following striking language: 81
think the authors Of that notable
instrument intended to include ali
men; but they did not intend to de
clare all men equal in all respects
They did not mean to say all were
equal in color, size, intellect, moral
development or social capacity.
They defined with tolerable distinct
ness in what respects they did con
slider all men were. created equal
equal with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty,
and in pursuit Of happiness This
they said and this they meant.
They did not mean to assert the
obvious untruth that all we're then
actually enjoying that equality, nor
yet that they were about to confer
1t immediately upon them. In fact
they had no right to confer such a
boon. They meant simply to de-
clare the right, so that the enforce
ment of it might follow as soon as
circumstances should permit. They
meant to set up standard maxim
for free society, which should be
familiar to all and revered by all
constantly looked to, constantly
labored for, and even though never
perfectly attained, constantly APP
proximated, and thereby constantly
spreading and deepening its inhu-
ence and augmentiDg the happiness
and value of life to all people of all
colors everywhere, The assertion
that all men are created equal was
of no practical use in effecting our
separation from Great Britain; and
it was placed in the declaration, not
for that, but for future use. Its
authors meant it to be as, thank
God, it is now proving itself, q
stumbling block to all those who in
after times might seek to turn q
tree people back into the hateful
paths OF oespotism. They knew
the proneness of prosperity to breed
tyrants, and they meant when such
should re-appear in this fair land
| and commence their vacation, they
should find left to them at least one
hard nut to crack.

DO We Want Prohibition2
Communicated


Is it fact that we do want pro-
hibition or is it fact that we don't |
want it? Could a traveller pass
through our county end tell by our
actions which side we as a people
are on2 Some of our best men are
out-epoken, and some of our best
men are not speaking at all. Why
is all this silence when there is such
a momentous question before the
people? The most of our preachers
can be located, but where are our
lawyers, to whom we look for polit-
ical as well as legal advice, and by
whose hands we as people are ele-
waited or in whom the power resides
to apply a panacea for all the ills
that afllict the body polite?
Where are our doctors in whom we
have so long confded and to whom
we so eagerly hasten in time of
physical suffering or mental de
rangement, and to whom we lock
for all of our sanitary regulations?
Where are our magistrates7 1t is
to them we are looking for protec-
ton and peaee and who stand as
shield to our lives and property.
Where are our constables? Are
they holding themselves, like US, in
readiness to serve at the command
Of their superiors? But the saddest
inquiry of all Is, where are the la
dies? The JOY, happiness, consola
ton, comfort, the light and life OF
our homes, our all, for whom we
have have fought, bled and died. at
whose shrine we delight to wor-
ship, and at whose command we are
always ready to serve! Will they
not come and show which 81 lie OF
this life and death question they arc

The Anti -P0gertY Society.


SO far as the object which Henry
George processes to accomplish is
concerned, everybody will favor an
anti-poverty society, but SO far as
his method of reaching his end is
involved, there will be diversity OF
opinion. lie will ind bat few far
mers, ct least, Who have faith in
abolishing poverty by transferring
the entire burden OF public taxa
ton 10 the land holders Of the coQu
Try, till that taxation shall amount
to the rental value of the land.
Most farlaere you'd prefer chat the
burden of meeting the public ex-
penses should fall, uniformity, on
the wealth of the country, even if
that involved the necessity of sup
porting a few paupers. While so
ciety in general would gladlyshail
the abolition Of poverty as glori-
Gus boon, yet they are hardly pre-
pared to assume the personal duties
necessary to the accomplishment OF
that object. 1t is possible to drive
poverty from human society, but it
is not probable that the individua!s
composing society will consent &c
conform their habits of life to such
rules as will actualize this poSsibili
ty. This, however, demands no
complex organization-it requires
no special association of either cap
ital or labor.
The revolution must be person
al one, and its conditions are very
simple. Three words embody the
motive force OF this industrial.
change. They are sobriety, indus
try and economy. Until these be-
come the leading Characteristics OF
society, poverty will continue te
inflict itself on every community il
spite of all the anti-poverty socie-
ties that may be organized. Wher-
ever drunkenness is found, there
will be poveTty-wherever idleness
is tolerated there will be poverty
wherever economy in the use OF
that which is produced is neglected
there will be poverty; and in pro-
portion as these three cardinal vir-
tues are regarded and practiced, sc
will poverty disappear. They are
